Continental Congress Federal Indent Anderson 165 $1 PCGS
Apparent Very Fine 30.
The first of the finest group of Federal Indents, or as they are
sometimes called, "Hardy" bills. These were signed by either Hardy
or Hillegas, but none of the Michael Hillegas notes have ever
appeared. These rare pieces were difficult to categorize and the
nickname "Hardy bill" was used early on by some unknown dealer and
has stuck to this day. This piece, in spite of its accurately
assigned apparent grade for a repaired edge split, is one of the
more pleasing examples we have seen of these very rare
post-Continental Continentals. More on their history and use
appears in the lots below.
